42. Aim of Government Statistics
The primary aim of official statistics in Scotland is to provide an
accurate and up-to-date picture of the economy and society. All
official statistics produced by Scottish Government are freely
available.
Most of the statistics produced are national statistics which
mean that they are produced according to the Code of Practice
for Official Statistics and meet with standards of integrity,
accuracy, impartiality

49. Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2012 identifies small area
concentrations of multiple deprivation across all of Scotland in a fair way.
SIMD 2012 is an update with improvements on the SIMD 2009 and uses the
same geographical base (datazones) as previous versions of the SIMD.
The SIMD provides a relative measure of deprivation which means that the main
output from SIMD - the SIMD ranks - can be used to compare data zones by
providing a relative ranking from most deprived (rank 1) to least deprived (rank
6,505). The SIMD cannot be used to determine 'how much' more deprived one
data zone is than another e.g. it is not possible to say that data zone X, ranked
50, is twice as deprived as data zone Y, ranked 100.
The SIMD can be used to identify Scotland's most deprived small areas on the
overall index and each individual domain, commonly by applying a cut off such
as 10%, 15% or 20%. The cut off should be informed by whether it aims to
target areas with the very highest concentrations of deprivation or to be wider
ranging.
Editor's Notes
The drivers for this latest period of population increase are attributed to natural growth (more births than deaths in the most recent years) and net in-migration.
Census day - 27 March 2011
23rd census since 1801
Lots of planning and preparatory activity
“Traditional” census approach: 95% of census questionnaires hand-delivered, 5% by post
Overall 94% response rate
20% questionnaires completed online
Shows population profile by ethnic group in 2011 - note the break in scale.
Scotland still predominately White (96%) and White Scottish single biggest group.
Minority ethnic groups (defined as those who responded something other than White ie not including Polish or Gypsies/Travellers. now account for 4% of population.
Of minority ethnic groups Asian largest - 3% of total population
Next slide shows change in groups over the 10 years.
Not much surprise to note that even in areas where lots of growth like Aberdeen, the proportions the population from an ethnic minority group are not evenly distributed. Map shows output areas for Aberdeen and proportion of people belonging to an ethnic minority group. Great variation. Some areas where over 10% - some where almost as high as 50% whereas some where less than 1%
The implications of increasing % of ethnic minorities are many. But one immediate one is on the demographic shape of the country.
Eighty-three per cent (4.4 million) stated that they felt they had Scottish national identity (whether it was the only national identity they felt they had or one of several national identities)
Just over 62 per cent of the population felt their national identity was Scottish only
Just over 18 per cent of the population felt their national identity was Scottish and British only
The remaining 2 per cent felt their national identity was Scottish in combination with some other identity
Eight per cent stated that they felt they had British only and 2 per cent stated English only.
Four per cent of the population of Scotland felt they did not have any UK national identity.
If look at difference between Scotland and Aberdeen City – smaller % White Scottish. Higher Polish and Other White and much higher Asian and African
Slide shows top 15 countries of birth for people in Scotland born outside of the UK in both 2001 and 2011.
In 2001 the Republic of Ireland was the most common non UK country of birth but by 2011 it is Poland. With 55,000 people being born there making it the third most common country of birth in Scotland after Scotland and England. India and Republic of Ireland both had 23,000 people who were born there.
Interesting to note that there were more people born in India than in Pakistan but there were many more people who recorded their ethnicity as Pakistani than Indian suggesting more settled Pakistani population.
China has moved from 13th place in 2001 to 7th place in 2011 and Nigeria which was ranked 27 in 2001 has moved into 9th place
Every council area experienced an increase in the number of people born outside of the UK between 2001 and 2011
In 2011, the top three countries of birth of non-UK born residents in the UK were, in descending
order, India, Poland and Pakistan.
7 per cent of people living in Scotland were born outside of the UK increase of 3 percentage points since 2001
55 per cent of those born outside of the UK arrived between 2004 and 2011
69 per cent were of working age (aged 16-64) when they arrived
38 per cent were in their twenties
In Aberdeen City, 1 person in 6 was born outside of the UK compared with East Ayrshire where 1 person in 44 was born abroad
Aberdeen City shows slightly different set of countries in terms of ordering. Again, at the top is Poland with over 6,000 people recording their country of birth as Poland. Next comes Nigeria. Aberdeen has approximately one third of the total Nigerian born population. India is third and Germany forth. Lithuania and Latvia feature in top 15 – do not feature in top 15 for Scotland
Councils with highest proportion of people in their area born in Poland:
Aberdeen City (2.9 per cent)
City of Edinburgh (2.4 per cent)
West Lothian (1.7 per cent)
Councils with lowest proportion of people in their area born in Poland:
North Ayrshire (0.16 per cent)
Inverclyde (0.13 per cent)
East Dunbartonshire (0.12 per cent)
In 2011 number of households one at least one usual resident was estimated to the highest ever and number of households increased between 2001 and 2011 by more than population leading to decrease in average household size.
